I just dropped my remote, and now will not work. Is there

Resolved Question:

Hi and welcome to JustAnswer,Thank you for the question and your patience. Should you still need assistance...

Initially, post back with the Vizio's model number.

Offhand, there is a partial test to confirm if the old remote is working or not. With fresh batteries, point the remote towards the lens of an active digital camera. For every press of any button on the remote, there should be a bright light that would register on the LCD screen of the camera.

No light, no infrared transmission from the remote; remote faulty.

On the other hand, if the remote is good, then consider a possible IR sensor fault in the unit itself.
